Benefits of technology

[0030]Some or all of the image processing, including image/object detection and/or decoding of symbols detected in the image may be distributed arbitrarily between the mobile (Client) device and the Server. In other words, some processing may be performed in the Client device and some in the Server, without specification of which part...

Embodiment Construction

[0042]The present invention includes a novel process whereby information such as Internet content is presented to a user, based solely on a remotely acquired image of a physical object. Although coded information can be included in the remotely acquired image, it is not required since no additional information about a physical object, other than its image, needs to be encoded in the linked object. There is no need for any additional code or device, radio, optical or otherwise, to be embedded in or affixed to the object. Image-linked objects can be located and identified within user-acquired imagery solely by means of digital image processing, with the address of pertinent information being returned to the device used to acquire the image and perform the link. This process is robust against digital image noise and corruption (as can result from lossy image compression / decompression), perspective error, rotation, translation, scale differences, illumination variations caused by differ...

Abstract

A digital image of the object (16) is captured and the object is recognized from plurality of objects in a database (20). An information address corresponding to the object is then used to access information and initiate communication pertinent to the object.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention relates an identification method and process for objects from digitally captured images thereof that uses image characteristics to identify an object from a plurality of objects in a database.BACKGROUND ART[0002]There is a need to provide hyperlink functionality in known objects without modification to the objects, through reliably detecting and identifying the objects based only on the appearance of the object, and then locating and supplying information pertinent to the object or initiating communications pertinent to the object by supplying an information address, such as a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), pertinent to the object.[0003]There is a need to determine the position and orientation of known objects based only on imagery of the objects.[0004]The detection, identification, determination of position and orientation, and subsequent information provision and communication must occur without modification or disfigurement of the object, witho...
